About Migrating From Oracle ASMLib to Oracle ASM Filter Driver

If ASMLIB is installed and configured for an existing Oracle ASM installation, then you must explicitly uninstall the existing ASMLIB configuration before installing and configuring Oracle ASMFD.

Oracle recommends that you temporarily move Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR) and voting files to another disk group if one is available, and migrate the disk group to use Oracle ASMFD. After migrating the disk group to use Oracle ASMFD, move OCR and voting files back to the disk group. You can similarly migrate any other disk groups if they contain OCR or voting files to ensure online migration of all disk groups to Oracle ASMFD.
